The 2013 Rural Hill Sheepdog Trials And Dog Festival What better way to wrap up the fall season than with your canine pal and several hundred of their new best friends? Bring your family, friends, and dog (or dogs) to the Rural Hill Sheepdog Trials and Dog Festival November 9th and 10th for one of the area’s best known dog events, now in its nineteenth year! No other dog festival in the area can offer more fun or variety! Don’t miss a thing! National Border Collie Sheepherding Championships will be held over the two day event, as will as Carolina Dock Dogs and Dog Sports demonstrations featuring the Greater Charlotte Shetland Sheepdog Club and others! Also on hand will be North Carolina beer and wine, heritage breed livestock, hay rides, historic craft and cooking demos, food vendors, shopping, open trails, antique tractors, living history demonstrations in the 1760’s cabin, pumpkin chunkin’*, corn launchin’, kid’s activities, and much more! www.ruralhill.net * ring your old Fall pumpkins and B let us chunk em’ into the field for you using our large, powerful, and explosively fun catapult! This hallmark feature of the Sheepdog Trials will launch your orange friend as much as 40 feet into the air: Newton’s law of gravity still applies however, and it will soon land with a splat in our field. “The most comprehensive way to learn where movies were made in North Carolina.” --Lawrence Toppman, Charlotte Observer The 160-plus entries in this travel guide are arranged geographically and include information about what movies and television series were filmed at each site.
